Key Topics

To develop familiarity with a wide array of methods in mechanics of spatially random materials and structures, specifically:

Introduction to stochastic geometric models of microstructures

Scalar and tensor random fields; fractal and Hurst effects

Scale-dependent homogenization of random elastic/inelastic materials

Stochastic (micro)mechanics as a basis for stochastic finite elements (SFE)

Waves in random media

Who Should Attend

Researchers in (thermo)mechanics, dynamics and transport phenomena in spatially random materials and structures. These include research scientists in solid and structural mechanics, graduate students and postdocs, faculty.
